Audinate Ships a Record One Million Dante Units in Fiscal Year 2023

Audinate Group Limited recently announced that during the company's 2023 fiscal year (FY23), which ended in June, it had shipped more than one million hardware and software units of its audio-and-video-over-IP solution (more audio than video), Dante. The one million units is the greatest number of Dante units ever shipped in a 12-month period and represents a 30% increase in shipments over 2022, signaling the end of supply chain challenges. 
  The list of Dante products sold by the Australian company includes software, chips and modules that original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) integrate in their products to create Dante audio and video hardware solutions for end users, as well as the Dante AVIO accessories built by Audinate.
 
Dante is the industry-leading protocol for audio networking, which enables the distribution of multichannel audio - and is now adding also video signals - via standard Ethernet networks with near-zero latency and perfect synchronization. Currently, more than 550 OEMs license Dante technology, delivering over 3,800 networked devices, including microphones, loudspeakers, and amplifiers.

Semiconductor analyst reports in 2022 showed the supply chain challenge was more of a demand than a supply issue, and Audinate's results reflect these findings. In FY23, to increase the availability of Dante products, the company introduced new products like the Brooklyn 3 module and worked with manufacturers to implement software-based solutions such as Dante Embedded Platform and IP Core. The company also negotiated on behalf of its large community of manufacturers to receive an increased allocation of supply-constrained chips. Today, Audinate believes it has largely overcome COVID-related supply challenges.
 
"To deliver a record number of Dante units in a year hampered by supply challenges demonstrates our commitment to working with our partners and suppliers to ensure the availability of Dante products," says Aidan Williams, Chief Executive Officer at Audinate. "The most inspiring aspect of this milestone is knowing there are now a million more Dante-enabled products on their way to the market, helping customers solve real AV challenges and improving end user experiences."
 
Audinate is evolving its vision from being a leading supplier of audio networking solutions - the "de facto" industry standard - to also being a pioneer in AV distribution signals by adding video. Audinate's Dante AV over IP networking solution is used extensively in the professional live sound, commercial installation, broadcast, public address, and recording industries - but its overwhelmingly audio. Dante replaces traditional analog cables by transmitting perfectly synchronized signals across large distances, to multiple locations at once, using nothing more than an Ethernet cable. 

Audinate is headquartered in Australia and has regional offices in the United States, United Kingdom, Belgium and Hong Kong.
